Is Capitoline Museums worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Capitoline Museums works.

Underrated and often half-empty while crowds queue elsewhere — home to the she-wolf, the giant fragments of Constantine, and a café terrace with a sweeping city view. The bonus is a tunnel passage with a hidden balcony looking out over the Roman Forum.
